Handicapped accessibility
The Black Lantern Resort & Retreat aspires to make the resort handicapped accessible. Given the contours of the property this will not be easy, but we have our goal and will be sticking to it. Accessibility is extremely important to us, so please do not hesitate to call to communicate special needs, even though our accessibility is in the early stages. Please refer to our Master Plan Report to see what facilities are available and check our progress in building the retreat. The inside of our cabin Eleanor is wheel chair accessible- again, call with questions or needs. Thanks- Annie Eastey
